NORMAL, Ill. - On Thursday, September 3rd the Normal CornBelters, presented by the Illinois Corn Farmers, will host its final Miller Thirst Quenching Thursday of the 2015 season. During the game, CornBelters players and coaches will be wearing a special Marcfirst jersey presented by Snyder Companies.
